Would you pay $100 for a professional, on-location head shot?

 

Hi I'm a professional photographer specializing mainly in weddings and real-estate. For the last year or so business has been a little slow, and it's time I boost my revenus. Here's my best idea. I would appreciate any feedback and ideas (especially a name!) but most of all I want to know if you'd pay for this service if you stumbled upon it.

The idea is simple: I'll reserve a boardroom, or empty space in a high rise or industrial park for 2 full days. I'll advertise in the lobby and send flyers to each business in the building two weeks leading up to the shoot. My target will be everyone who has a professional presence on facebook or linkedin (or whatever.) My web site will allows you to book 1 of about 80 10 min slots during those two days. You'll pay up front, and also be able to pay for others in the case of an office paying for a bunch of executives or something.

When you show up on the date at your chosen time, you'll be greeted by my hair and makeup person who will just do a quick once over to make sure you'll looking your best.

We'll then take 2 headshots, one with a very dark background, and one with a bright white background (going for a conservative look and a younger hipper look.) You'll select the 2 photos you want processed and that's it, we'll email it to you during the week.

The cost will be $100 each which is dramatically lower than going to a professional photography studio and much more convenient too being that we'll be only steps away from where you work.

There will be a minimum about of spaces that need to be sold, and one week leading up to if we haven't hit our targets we'll send out email to everyone who has signed up asking them to help us reach our goal. If we don't make the whole shebang gets canceled.

There are more details to be worked on for sure, but as a general idea, what do you guys think?

Thanks!!!
